HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO.MORROW. 11 minutes after 0 Evening 40 minutes after 0 carries on her Oriental schemes of aggression. As ' we trust to be able to-morrow to enter more fully into the statements contained in this pamphlet, we shall leave our readers to exercise their own good sense in corn menting upon it : " But it is in quarters further removed from public obser vation that the progress of Russia has been most rapid and alarming, because more securely carried on. Few and in different are the regards bestowed by most European States men on the countries eastward of the Caspian, or even on the more known and less savage realms of Persia ; yet it is there, notwithstanding, that the danger to British interests is greatest and most imminent. Not four years since the aid of Eng land, in money and in countenance, placed the present Shah of Persia on his throne. Accompanied by the Envoy of that power, with the detachment of British officers, and by the Ambassador of Russia, who gave no assistance beyond the assent implied by his presence—for none other, indeed, was required on the part of his master—the young Monarch made his bloodless progress from Tabreez to the capital, where he was seated in peace upon the throne of his grandfather— and great and unbounded were the professions of his gratitude. The Russian boundary was then the Arras, and the influence of Russia was decidedly inferior to that of England in the councils of the Shah. Since then we have seen that Mo narch, who thus owed his crown to England, in defiance of the councils and remonstrances of the British Minister, but listening to the voice of encouragement from the Am bassador of Russia, exhausting the resources and forestalling the revenues of his still unsettled country, in support of a war of aggression against the vital interests of England. We have seen the English Minister insulted, his demands for redress unheeded, forced to retire before the prevail ing influence of the Russian Envoy from the Court of the Shah, where heretofore he had been paramount, and that Monarch avowedly abandoning himself to the guidance of the latter—acting in all respects by his advice—making treaties under his guarantee, and receiving in return promises of the most substantial aid, in prosecuting his designs against the very points and people which it is our interest and object to protect. We have seen the Chiefs of Affghanistan, who but a short while since coveted and solicited our alliance as their best safeguard, disappointed in their hopes of assistance from Eng land against either Sikbs or Persians, dismissing the empty handed English agents, and admitting those of Russia, who lavish the promises of aid and protection which England with holds ; and entering into treaties with the Persian Monarch, under guarantee of the Russian agent ; probably, too, with the Emperor himself, against their own brethren of Herat. We hear of the Russian Envoy intimating the intention of the Emperor his master to send an army of 10,000 Rus- sians to subjugate the rulers of Khivah and Bockhara, and that done, to fix with Persia the limits of their eastern frontiers. In short, we see Russian influence, instead of being limited as formerly to the line of Arras, prevailing now, not at Herat alone, but at Cabul—nay, even to the banks of the Indus." Two communications from Hanover have lately ap peared in the Morning Chronicle, which, as we know the statements to be correct, seem worthy of public at tention. The first refers to the policy of ERNEST, the usurper of his people's rights, as it concerns the internal relations of Hanover, the second as it con cerns the relations of Hanover to the rest of Germany, and both lead to the conclusion that however rabid and wicked is this aged usurper, he is still more weak and foolish. He is now in his 67th year, and, according to the course of nature, cannot live many years. His heir is a blind boy, whose accession to the throne will not be undisputed, for it is a doubtful point whether according to law and custom, in Germany, incurable blindness will not incapacitate him from ascending the throne. He has already a rival, in his cousin, and his father has taken care to alienate his uncles from his cause. For this poor young man Prince ER NEST is preparing a life of trial and misery. He went to Hanover under most favourable circumstances. The people, naturally loyal to his House, were anxious that their Sovereign should live in the country, and they received him with the warmest attachment. With generous disinterestedness, his predecessor had done all in his power to prepare for him a happy people, and, proportionate to the extent of his dominion, a splendid throne, which he ascended with all possible advantage. The States, which he disliked, were not very popular, and it is the opinion of the best judges that nothing would have been easier for Prince ERNEST, by a little management to have brought them into his views, to have quietly obtained all the mo difications of the Constitution which he could have desired, and to have induced them to agree with him in passing a law which would have secured the throne to his son, and placed the Regency in the hands of that son's wife or his mother. By his rashness, how ever, Prince ERNEST made the States popular—he gave them the character of Patriots, and acquired for himself that of a Destroyer. He affronted all the people, by openly insulting the memory of WILLIAM the GooD, whom they loved. He extinguished at once all their affections, and left himself without a party or a friend in the country, except his Ministers and the Military. He even affronted the latter by showing a partiality for Prussian discipliner and though he has not made them swerve from their duty to him, he has cooled their zeal. With the pro spect of a disputed succession before his son, he has done all he can to deprive him of support, and make his own death, if insurrection be not before provoked by his tyranny, the signal for lighting up a flame in Hanover. We are well assured that some of those who have the most influence with the people look forward to that event as the proper time to urge the popular claims, which they repress at present, in the hopes that it will speedily arrive. We know positively that some of the leading men, who would gladly have promoted the views in favour of Prince ERNEST'S son above expounded, shrunk back from the father's rash tyranny. They at once saw that he was not a safe man to deal with or to trust, and they prefered taking the popular side, waiting for a favourable op portunity to make his unpopularity help forward the people's cause, with which they have now connected their schemes of ambition. For his family then, and for his kingdom, Prince ERNEST has prepared a most sorrowful and harrassing future. Nor has he, according to the Correspondent of the Chronicle, done worse for the external political power of Hanover. Supported, as he would have been by England and Austria, he might have taken the lead of Bavaria in defending the rights of the small and constitutional States against the ambition of Prussia. He might have made himself the arbiter of the tate of Germany. He has degraded himself in the strong expression of the Chronicle's Correspondent, into a Prussian Corporal. Hanover has in consequence lost all influence at the Diet, except what Prussia be stows ; and the Diet, while it rejected the appeal from the Corporation of Osnabruck, and had consequently no case before it, called on the independent Pi ince to explain and defend his conduct. He has already so well played the cards of Prussia, that he has degraded Hanover into her vassal, and prepared the way for the success of her project to incorporate all the North of Germany under her own sway, as she has already united it into a commercial league. The project of mediatising several of the smaller States, which yet possess sovereign power, is already talked of as the first and best step to realise the ambitious projects of Prussia. When thelittleprincipalities of Saxony and Sondeesihausen have been sacrificed—and a little per sonal spite ;yill induce Prince ERNEST to favour Prus sia in that—Hanover, already degraded, in fact, into a province of Prussia, will become so in name. In ad dition, then, to preparing internal dissensions for his family and his dominions, Prince ERNEST is also preparing for. the extinction of Hanover as an hide pd State. olifpsthoef some peicieonard,r,eolnt State. S uc h are t h e v i ews ex p oun ded by the disting u i s h e d subjects. m h e r C hronicle, Prince which E R we NE s T t so most Such, too, let us say, are very of likely to be th e consequences the rash proceedings of this old, weak, f oo li sh, and wicked usurper. We are gratified to learn that a very large propor tion of the wealthy and influential inhabitants of Edinburgh, alive to the importance of a speedy com munication, at all seasons of the year, between the capitals of North and South Britain, have resolved to lose no time in extending the great railway line from London to Newcastle on to Edinburgh and Glas gow—thus connecting, as it were, the traffic of the Clyde and the Thames. In our columns of this day will be found the Report of a public meeting held at Edinburgh on the subject, at which it was resolved that the necessary surveys should be made, under the direc tion of Mr. GEO. STEVENSON, the well-known engineer, as a preliminary step to the commencement of the work. It appears from the Report that two lines of road have been proposed by the Newcastle Committee, and that Mr. STEPHENSON has decided in favour of the one along the coast as being the most level, and therefore requiring fewer embankments, excavations, and tun nellings than the interior line. These are excellent reasons for preferring one line to another, and by a Company who do not want to throw away money will no doubt meet with all due consideration. However, so long as the Government declines to charge itself with the survey and direction of all lines of railway, it must be left to the Companies undertaking them to select such as they may deem most profitable. Had Ministers, as we suggested when the first line of rail way was opened in England and found to answer, ordered a survey of the country to be made, and ap. pointed the great lines of road which might be un dertaken by Companies to be definitely fixed, an ex penditure of hundreds of thousands of pounds, in con tested lines and useless surveys, would have been saved to the people of England. Nor would this have been the only advantage. The lines would have been more regular, and being laid down by men of compe tent intelligence and unconnected with this or that locality, they would have presented something like a general superintending regard to the commercial wants of the nation. It is to no purpose to dwell upon this point now as regards English railways, and we only allude to it because it is still possible to deliver Scotland and Ireland from many of the heavy losses which a neglect of it has entailed upon this coun try. In Ireland, a survey has been made and excellent lines, suitable to the entire country, pro posed ; and, were a similar survey made of the whole of Scotland, and no departure from the proposed lines tolerated, immense as would be the saving in money from the first outlay, it would infinitely fall short of the advantages which Scotland would otherwise gain from a judicious and general intersection of the coun try by roads laid down upon a scale commensurate with the national necessities. This suggestion is merely thrown out in the hope that it may attract the attention of our northern friends, who will know how to profit by it. A Morning Contemporary contains an account of singular case which is to come on before the Court of Arches on Friday next, and which will make the public, generally, better acquainted than at present with ecclesiastical law and the proceedings of eccle siastical courts. A person who is described in the Chronicle as one MARY WOOLFRET, and is, therefore, we presume, a poor woman, if not a widow, has caused, it appears, the following inscription to be engraved on a tombstone, in Carisbrooke churchyard in the Isle of Wight : THE NOVEMBER NUMBER OF _ „ COLBUR'§ --- I4IW - 3145NTHLY MAGAZINE AND HUMOURIST, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, Esq., Contains : The Gurney Papers.

The publication of TM& SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock WITH WHICH THE , g TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30,1838. A war between this country and Russia, in all pro bability, cannot be long deferred. The strong feeling excited among the British people by the barbarous conduct of that power towards Poland, and by her restless, encroaching spirit, together with the attitude of our Government at the present moment may deter the AUTOCMAT from taking any immediate step to provoke a war,; but he only waits his time. He has sufficient grounds: for quarrel with England in Turkey, Persia, and even Spain ; and should we, by some un foreseen calamity, come into collision with the United States or France, no rational being can suppose that lie would for a moment delay carrying his ambitious designs into effect. Russia is a power which can be restrained within its boundaries only by force. The spirit and construction of the army, the eagerness of -the great chiefs to extend Russian dominion to the East and the South, would, independent of the .ambition of the Sovereign, impel him forward ; and were the Emperor NICHOLAS to slacken his pace, -they would soon find means to sacrifice him, as they have sacrificed some of his predecessors. It becomes this country, therefore, to consider whether it is not better to meet this spirit of conquest boldly, than allow it to encroach peaceably on her interests, as it has done for the last twenty years. During that period she has never been at rest. She has been engaged in one endless system of intrigue to extend her territory, with little hindrance from either Tory or Whig Governments. The treaty of Adrianople pro claimed, to our cost, what object she had in view when she employed her agents to stir up the Greeks against the Turks. By exciting divisions among the Persian Princes, she has been equally successful in the East. She is playing the same game at present, with the Pacha of EGYPT, and the Sublime Porte, and nothing but our active and deter mined interference will prevent both in Turkey and in Persia the most disastrous results. War, at all times, is a dreadful alternative, and nothing but necessity and a good cause will justify it. It is the duty of this country, however, to be prepared for the worst, as thereby alone she can preserve peace or meet the danger with effect. Fear alone will operate on these barbarous and meddling intruders. The public know what calamities Russia has caused in Poland—they know also the cruelties inflicted on the Greeks by the Turks, and excited by the intrigues of Russia ; and in the following extract from Mr. FRAZER'S " Journey from Constantinople to Tehran," they will form some idea of the sufferings which the Persians endure in consequence of those civil wars which the Russians are so anxious to excite among their neigh bours. The miseries of Poland almost sink into the shade I " Old men and women, in the most abject states of want, and wretchedness, and sickness, pressed upon us at every step, beseeching for relief in the name of all the Imauns ; but what seas that—what was all the misery of manhood, or even of age, to the suffe r i ngs o f w i t h er i ng ch i l dh oo d an d h e l p l ess i n f ancy ? The way was actually strewed with creatures that could not, many of them, be more than from three to four years old • not standing or sitti ng b y the way side, but grovelling the dust and dirt, n a k e d, lik e the vermin vv e were treading under foot. Living sk e l etons they were,more like the starved young of animals than human creatures. There they lay strewed in the very g P o lth e S, so . that you could scarcely help trampling on them • petitions, with their 'little hal7f29q. and sending forth piteous bread ! others silent, lying o e uencii,?d . voices, for help—for . symptoms of life by the sobs that dead thii:os, or only giving from their little breasts, or the shudders"old now and then issue their wasted frames. Some sat listless of pain that shook on which and . motionlers, with ball-closed eyes, and countenances o e seal ; while the which . death s e emed like lare from already to have put his the sunken: eyes of others, gave terrible eyWvi°o4-nce oft he pangs these wretched of hunger which gnawed them. Man little creatures could not, as I have said, be more speak, than f rom three to four years ; yet, tho ug h h ardly able rn7 and left at that i nfantzne a g e, alone in the world, to ive or to die—deprived , by accident or famine, of all relatives, and want seemed to have sh arpened their facultie s t o an astonish ing degree of precocity, for for food." you heard them , squ ea ki ng out , sounds which conveyed a petition or ood The benefits to mankind from an extension of the dominion of Russia, may he inferred from the above harrowing description of the miseries of the Persians. The shadow of her standard has ever proved fatal to the growth of civilization. Her only arts are those which are destructive of human life. She can forge the implements of death, but the knowledge which ameliorates the moral and physical ills of humanity is to for an object of fear and abhorrence. In the 0 6 ? - 7- g ition of a work just published by AIURRAY, ~,f fed " Progress and Present Position of in the East," we find a passage which places Ott.. clear light, the stealthy mode in which Russia ik. 11 S • • r , • - . Zhv " Pray for the soul of Joseph Wcolfrey. " It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead." —2 Mac., chap. This inscription the Rev. JOHN BREEKS, Vicar of Carisbrook disapproves of, and as he is, being there charged with the cure of souls, invested by law with the power of objecting to any inscrip tions on tombstones which he may think improper, he has caused MARY WOOLFREY to be cited before the Court of Arches to answer for her conduct. The Chronicle publishes the citation, which is issued by the authority of HERBERT JENNER Knight, Principal of the Arches Court of Canter bury, and is directed to " all and singular clerks and literate persons whomsoever" throughout the diocese. Probably the woman may not come within the cata logue, and yet she will be punished for contempt of Court if she answer not to the citation. It goes on to say that— . 4 We, Herbert Jenner, have lately received letters of re_ Brest from the Reverend William Dealtry, Doctor in Divinity, Vicar General of the Right Reverend Father in God Charles Richard, by Divine permission Bishop of Winchester and Offi cial Principal of the Consistorial and Episcopal Court of Winchester, lawfully constituted, of the tenor following : It then repeats the titles of Dr. DEALTRY and the Bishop, and says that— " The Rev. John Breeks;Clerk, Vicar of the parish of Ca risbrooke, in the Isle of Wight, &c., doth, by the aid of the office of the Judge, intend to cause a decree or citation to is sue, under the seal of the proper Court, against Mary Wool frey, of the parish of Carisbrooke, aforesaid, widow, to an. swer to certain articles, heads, positions, or interrogatories , to be objected and administered to her touching and con cerning the health of her soul and the lawful correction and reformation of her manners a n d excesses, and mor. especially fur having unduly and unlawfully erected or caused to be erected a certain tombst one i n t h e c h urc hyard of the said pa-. rish of Carisbrooke, t o th e memory o f J osep h Woolfrey, late of the said parish, deceased, and a certain inscription to be made thereon, contrary to the articles, canons, and co nstitutions, or to the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England.. . . And whereas it has been alleged that the commencing , and prosecuting th e sa id cause i n t h e sa id A rc h es C o urt of Can. terbury will be of advantage to all the parties therein, not only from the better assistance they can there have of advo cates and proctors than in the said Diocesan Court of Win chester as otherwise : These are therefore, at the special desire of the said Reverend John Brceks, to request, and we do hereby request, the Right Honourable Sir Herbert Jen ner, &c., to permit a decree or citation to issue under the seal of said Court, against the said Mary Wolfrey, widow, to appear at a certain competent time and place to he therein suecified, and then and there to answer to certain articles, etc, repeating all the above passage about the health of NTARY WOOLFREY'S SOlll. Thereupon the Knight de clares that " we have accepted the said letters of request in aid of justice," and proceeds to " cite and call MARY WOOLFREY to judgment (justice so re quiring), to answer certain articles concerning the re furmation of her manners and excesses," &c., at the promotion of the Rev. JOHN BREEKS. Thus is MARY WOOLFREY compelled to appear in person, or by proctor, before Sir HERBERT JENNER on Friday next, in London, at a distance of eighty miles from tier home, to answer for the impropriety of placing an inscription on a tombstone erected to the memory of her own relation, which is declared by the Rev. Mr. BREEKS to be contrary to the articles, canons, and constitution of the Church of England i Properly does the Chronicle describe this as Protestant perse - • cation, though it is all done in " aid of justice." To prove, however, that any connection exists between justice and Ecclesiastical Courts, and Ecclesiastical law, except that it is a living rule of which they are standing violations, requires more ingenuity than is even possessed by HERBERT JENNER, Knight, and the rest of the Doctors of Civil Law, The supposed ground of the objection to this simple inscription is, that to pray for the soul of the departed, as is devoutedly supplicated by the mother, or wife, of JOSEPH WOOLFREY, countenances the doctrine of purgatory. If it be so, and if the prayers for the souls of belove d relatives an d friends be con traryr clo to doctrine se many supporters; of the Church of Engl an d, t h at Church for such Prayers, flowing spontaneously from the most touching an d en dearing recollections, are, and ever have been, c orn . Mil, we believe, to all i ntelli g ent and affectionate beings. The Church admits that the book quoted may be read for the example of life and instruction, though not to establish any doctrine ; an d yet it treats as criminal a poor woman who quotes it in the spirit of kindness and affection. We are not yet quite aware of the lengths to which the priesthood of the Established Church, aided by Ecclesiastical Courts, committin g all manner of unrighteousness in the name of justice, are determined to go, but it is pretty plain they intend to stretch their tether to the utmost. Whether it will break we cannot tell, but the community can no more prosper under two rules than under two Sovereigns. Either the rule of reason, as interpreted by the Legis lature and the Courts of Law, or the rule of pries:- craft, as carried out by Ecclesiastical Courts, must bear unbounded sway. The priests are struggling hard for the latter ; but we trust their exertions will induce the public to resolve that the dominion of the former shall be fully established. In consequence of the stormy state of the weather yesterday, the Paris Papers of Sunday have only reached us this moment (2 o'clock, p.m.) so that we have only time to make the following extracts from them : " The Government has received, by way of New Orleans, despatches which acquaint it with the state of our affairs in Mexico to the 22d September. Sickness was disappearing more and more, and our losses were inconsiderable. As for the Mexican Government, the blockade bad exhausted all its resources. President Bustamente, perceiving the impossibility of reQisting very long, threatened, too, by the Federal party, had informed the Commander of the French force that he was ready to enter into negociations. " Everything, therefore, announces a prompt and advan tageous conclusion of our differences. Several Journals an nounce that Admiral Gallois is ordered to return to France on board the Jupiter. This Admiral, they say, is in disgrace. " The recal of Rear-Admiral Gallois is not founded on any reasons personal to him. " This officer has served everywhere and at all times with the greatest distinction, and the Government has the most en tire and well-merited confidence in him. " But the state of affairs in the Levant, and the necessity of retrieving as far as possible within the limits of the Budget, have induced the King to reduce the number of armed vessels, and to keep up only one squadron in the Levant and the Medi terranean. "—Moniteur. Cabrera attacked the town of Caspe on the 14th. His troops had even entered the town, and were besieging the place in which the National Guard and the weak garrison were shut up. But General Van Halen having arrived with his division on the 18th, the rebels abandoned Caspe, and retired towards Maella. A despatch from the Governor of Santander says :—" The factions of Castor and Luqui were beaten on the 16th, in the formidable positions which the valley of Soba affords at every step. The enemy lost nearly 200 men. On the 19th the 2d Brigade carried by assault the fortified bridge of Udalla, and made the garrison prisoners ; yesterday the faction attempted to molest the right wing of my line. but were repulsed with the loss of one commander, four officers, and 40 men. To-day I have occupied the tower of Quintara, a strongly fortified building in which the Rebels had en trenched themselves." Another report from Brigadier-General Medinilla an nounces the taking of the fort erected by the Carlists on the bridge of Udalla, the Rebels were defeated and their corn. mander killed. The Phare de Bayonne of the 25th says, " that the mar riage of Don Carlos and the Princess of Beira, was ratified en the 20th, in the Hotel of the Duke of Grenada, at Tolosa, by the Bishop of Leon. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A GUARDIAN OF THE NlGHT.—Nicholas Whitehouse, a watchman, born, as he stated, in the year '76, and who had been remanded under the following circumstances, was again brought up, together with a female named Mary Robinson. It appeared from the statement of a postman, named John Owen, that about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night he was in the Cloth-fair, and in consequence of the heavy rain, took shelter under an archway leading into Long-lane, from which it is divided by a gate, which is in the keeping of the prisoner. There was a female in company with the watch man, and they were kissing each other very much, and several times went into the public-house close at hand. The female several times came and felt about witness, and on her leaving him the last time, he missed his money, 21. 12s. He believed the female was the person who took his purse. The watchman let her through the gate into Long lane, and on witness stating that she had robbed him, he re fused to let him follow her, saying he might go round the other way. On cross-examination witness said that the watchman never left the archway to go his round for a full hour. He, however, admitted that he was absent for about ten minutes in taking some persons to the watch-house. Charles Edward Mawley, of New-street, Cloth-fair, de posed that he saw the woman with her arms about the watch man's neck, and heard her call him her " dear father." He knew her to be a common prostitute, and she was kept by a young man who was last week apprehended for felony. About two or three minutes after going up, Owen called out that be had lost his purse, and the prisoner then let the woman out of the archway. Owen said " The woman has got my purse," and asked the watchman to let him follow her, but he re fused, and said she had not gone out there. On cross-examination he said that Owen told the watch. man the woman had got his purse before she was let out. The watchman accompanied the prosecutor to the station house. Prosecutor insisted upon his doing so, and the pri soner then wanted to persuade the constable that the prose cutor was drunk. The constable, however, would not let the prisoner go on duty again, and locked him up. Sir P. LAURIE (to the watchman)—Were you tenderly embracing this woman? Watchman—No, she was embracing me. The man (the prosecutor) was rather jealous, and took her from me. Mr. Alderman KELLY said he must have known she- was a common prostitute. The watchman said he did not know that until all was over. The officer who took him in charge said the watchman told him at the time it was Charley Taylor's woman. Sir P. LAURIE—I think you are badly watched. Officer—l know there wants a thorough reform in St. Bar tholomew-the -Great, from the watchman to the Church warden.—( Laughter. ) The prisoners were both discharged, the authorities of the parish intimating that they would take the conduct of the watchman into consideration. Henry Gattrell was charged with felony. It appeared from the statement of John Walter Wood, of 26, Newgate street, that yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock. he saw the prisoner creeping out at the warehouse dour. He imme piately followed, and saw him lay down two parcels on a step, which, on examining, he found to contain chandelier pins. They had been taken from the counter, and were worth about nine shillings. The prisoner, who said that he was a working jeweller, ad mitted that he had taken the parcels, but pleaded poverty in extenuation of his offence. He was remanded, in order that inquiries might be made as to his general character. CAB DRIVING.—Thomas Morse, a cab-driver, No. 1,763, was brought up by a policeman, charged with having been in a state of intoxication yesterday, whilst driving down Lud gate-hill. Sir P. LAURIE inquired if the system was any better since the alteration which had taken place in the numbering? The officer replied that they were better for a few days, but now almost as bad as ever. Instead of plying for hire, as formerly, they now exhibited a board on which is pai►►ted " Not hired." When engaged, they turned the board the other way I Sir P. LAURIE said there was nn conquering these men.— ( Laughter.) The prisoner said this was his first offence, and that he had a large family. Mr. Alderman KELLY, in consideration of the prisoner's previous good character, said he would not fine him on this occasion, although he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 31., or to two months' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.) Two persons, named Lucas and Allan, were placed at the bar, charged by a censtable of the D division, with rioting and creating a disturbance in East Castle-street, Oxford market. From the evidence of several witnesses, who were produced by both prisoners, it appears that there is a " dancing academy," in the house No. 36, in that street, which is open to all persons who pay 6d. at the street door. A son of the prisoner Lucas is the " Professor." Last night, about half past twelve, Allan and four others forced themselves in there, and the consequence was, they were tumbled into the street, and the row, the subject of the present complaint, took place. The policeman stated that twice or three times every week the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were annoyed by disturb ances of this description. _ _ _ Mr. HOSKINS dismissed the charges preferred by each pri soner against the other, but called Mr. " Professor" Lucas, and gave bim a hint as to the consequences if charges of this nature were any more made against his academy. A young man named Strong was charged with robbing Mr. Edward Clayton, a tavern-keeper, in whose service he lived as a bar-man. He was remanded until next Thursday, to afford time for producing further evidence. WESTMINSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY.--The an nual meeting for the election of officers was held on Saturday evening, Mr. Hale Thompson , Pres ident, in the Chair. The ballot t er minated in the appointment of Dr. Chowne as presi dent, Mr. King as vice-president, and ten other gentlemen to fill up the same number of vacancies on the Committee. The subject of obtaining more appropriate premises was brought forward, anti it was announced that the Committee were taking steps for that purpose. Mr. Smith exhibited a singular pa thological specimen of injury in the spine of a young lady ; arid Dr. Addison stated that purpura was now most inveterate on the Borough side of the water, both in hospital practice and otherwise, and in such cases as to favour his views of the epidemic nature of the disorder, which was more connected with derangement of the spleen than anything else. In mild cases the patients generally get well, but when the disease is bad, the case is almost hopeless. Dr. Chowne considered that in man y respects it was ana l agous with the patechial fever, being produced by the same dispositions of the atmos phere, and stated that this was much on the decline. Amongst other remedies that were proposed for the former was ergot of rye , which was supported by Dr. Golding Bird, who illus trated the case of a Gipsy woman, where from eating brown bread which was made of ergotized rye a great vascularity in the system was produced, tending to ossification of the arteries. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. (7 7' :THIS . 1) Ai 7 C I :' , T - EL ( t A We have received New York Papers to the 13th October. The New York Gazette of the 12th of October announces the arrival at New York of the Royal William steamer, and the day of her sailing for England has been changed from the 18th to the 20th, at two o'clock, at which time she will posi tively sail :—" We are requested by the agents of the Royal William to state, that in consequence of complaints that some letters have not been received by her, that she did not leave Liverpool until three quarters of an hour after the time speci fied for the letter-bags to be closed. Exchange 9. The Royal William made her passage out in 21 days to New York." Montreal Papers to the 10th October have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house :—" Two rebels of the name of Scott have been sentenced to be hanged at Norwich, Upper Canada, on the 20th of this month. They are the sons of a respectable Quaker in that town, and were tried for robbing a man of a pair of pistols." (From the Montreal Paper of October 6.) The surmised intentions of the Earl of Durham to remain in the province until he shall have brought his inquiries, as High Commissioner, into some degree of maturity, should the report prove to be well founded, must be highly satisfactory to any one who is interested in the happiness and prosperity of the country. These important inquiries, once completed in the manner in which it is evident Lord Durham has proposed to complete them, the Imperial Government can no longer be furnished with an excuse for refraining to submit to her Ma jesty and Parliament some comprehensive and fundamental measures for the final settlement of our difficulties. On Thursday night his Excellency Sir George Arthur, accompanied by the Attorney-General of Upper Canada, ar rived in town on his way to Quebec, to pay a visit to his Ex cellency the Governor- General, previous to the departure of his Lordship. COMMERIAL.—The amount of business done during the last week has been considerably less than that of the preced ing, a number of principal buyers from Upper Canada having left town. From the continued absence of the full traders, it is found, that merchants living above Kingston will not be able to get up their usual supplies. In the produce market we have little variation, to notice, from our last quota tions. Flour sales have been made at 41s. 3d. to 425. 6d. West India produce—From the quantity of Sugar in market, and what is to arrive, it is anticipated that prices will still further recede. In Exchange no alteration. Quebec Papers received to the 7th October :—" This morn ing his Excellency, Sir George Arthur, Governor of Upper Canada, arrived on board the Canada steam-boat, and landed under a salute from the citadel. A variety of rumours have been afloat of a conspiracy being dis covered on the river Chambly, also of further menacing movements in the western part of the State of New York and along the frontier of Upper Canada. These reports have been connected with the arrival of Sir George Arthur, and the orders for the frigates to proceed to Halifax, but the coinci dent, we imagine, is merely accidental, though we are far from anticipating a quiet winter." We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 19th of Oc tober, by the Mediteranean mail. As usual, the news they contain from Spain has been anticipated by the French Papers. We have a mail from Lisbon, by the Liverpool, of the 21st of October, which states that the Miguclites do not ap pear to be in the least dismayed in the Algarves and the Alemtejo, notwithstanding the large force that the Govern ment sent against them. One of young Remeschido's Lieu tenants entered a populous village on the 15th, at the head of 100 cavalry, and was driven out of the place by the Queen's troops, after three hours' hard fighting. All was tranquil a! Lisbon when the packet sailed. The United States packet ship, from New York, is off Liverpool; sailed on the 13th of October. THE FUNDS.

THE REGISTRATION.—The provincial reports appear to indicate a balance adverse to the Liberals. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Angel, Lewisham, on the body of Richard Beazeley, a young man eighteen years old, who was accidentally killed on Thursday, about two o'clock, on the part of the embankment near New Cross. John Gibbins, a labourer employed on the works, said that the deceased was a brother labourer, and that as the wit ness was driving some waggons loaded with clay for the con tinuation of the embankment, and drawn by a horse along the rails already laid down, the deceased incautiously got between two of the waggons, and the latter of which he was thrown under, and crushed across the centre of the body. The horse employed under the witness was turned off the rails at the time. The occurrence was quite accidental, and the deceased was sober. Mr. Steele, a surgeon, stated that he found the deceased labouring under internal injuries on Thursday. He vomited blood, and was cold and faint. He grew worse, and died on Friday. On opening the body he found the stomach burst, and an hemorrhage. These injuries were sufficient to cause dissolution. Verdict—" Accidental Death." Yesterday an inquest was held in Wapping, at the sign of the Town of Ramsgate public-house, before Mr. Ba ker, the Coroner, on view of the body of a man unknown. It appeared from the evidence, that early yesterday morning, the body of the deceased was discovered in the larboaad paddle box of the Dundee steam-ship, lying off Wapping Stairs, and on being extricated was towed ashore. On a surgical exami nation, an extensive cut on the top of the head and a severe fracture of the skull were found, the latter being a fatal injury inflicted while alive. The fact could not be ascertained whether the death of deceased had arisen from the cut and fracture, or drowning, and it is probable that he might have been drawn into the paddle-box while floating in the stream. He did not be long to the Dundee. He was dressed in a seafaring garb, and was a fine athletic youth, about nineteen years of age, with red hair. There were no other marks of violence about the body. A juror remarked that death might have been caused by violence, and the body afterwards thrown into the water. The Coroner suggested that it was more probable the deceased had fallen from the mast head overboard, and struck against the cable or anchor. If the case gained pub licity through the press the body would most likely be iden tified, and other information ohti►ined which would set the matter at rest. The juu rcttirml a verdict of " Found drowned." LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) ()" P. M. ;V. M0ry...1 , .;...
